Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Fresh mushrooms (button or cremini, finely chopped)
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Milk (room temperature)
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped mushrooms, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft and any liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, milk, and yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Add the sautéed mushrooms, salt, parsley (if using), and the remaining olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir to incorporate.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf or your desired form. Place it on the prepared baking sheet or in the loaf pan.
Cover with a towel and let it rest for another 20-30 minutes while the oven finishes preheating.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
